Helge Registered Member Posts 3 Karma 0 OS	Amarok on Windows with proxy Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:45 am I'm running Amarok 2.4, downloaded 2011-04-26 as amarok.7z. Wikipeda articles are not fetched by Amarok. I cannot use the Like/Dislike/Bug buttons. Likely cause: I'm behind a corporate firewall/proxy, and I haven't configured the proxy settings for Amarok. I cannot find any proxy settings for Amarok. This is the only KDE program I have installed, so I cannot use any other KDE program to set the proxy server address. Is there a file where I can write it? Where is that file, if it exists? Kind regards, Helge

The reason for this is that amarok does not read the system wide proxy settings from GNOME. To solve this problem you need to edit the following file : $HOME/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc and add the following entries to it : [Proxy Settings][$i] ProxyType=1 httpProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/ httpsProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/ ftpProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/ Save the file and Restart amarok.

Yamakuzure Registered Member Posts 1 Karma 0	Re: Amarok on Windows with proxy Thu Mar 01, 2018 12:04 pm Sorry for the necro! I know this thread is ancient, but it is the first hit when searching using google. And it is the only result that looks like what has been searched for. Other results are about Linux, not Windows. So that's why I necro'd this thread, a new one would be counterproductive. ...and this topic drove me nuts for several weeks! So if you, like me, came here via your preferred search engine, because Amarok does not heed any setting you put anywhere on Windows, then here is the solution: The kioslaverc file you search for is in: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Amarok\share\config Put the Proxy settings as listed above into the kioslaverc file you find there, and Amarok will happily go through your corporate proxy.
